Ahem.  McCall sat out the Straub governorship because of term limits,
then ran again.  He lost the republican primary to Atiyeh.  He ran
for governor as an independent and lost there too.  He wasn't
*that* popular.  

What the heck...Atiyeh was a pretty good governor.  He promised to
recession proof the state, and our current Pacific Rim trade 
balance is a direct result of his work.  I think he spent more
time in the far east than he did in Oregon during his two terms.

Oregon has a history of good, popular governors.  The only real
duds I can think of are Neil Goldbrick, who was pretty much
useless, and Roberts who was just over her head and didn't have
a clue what to do.  Kitzhaber seems to be doing OK.
